This article challenges human-computer interaction researchers to rethink how intersectionality is understood and applied within the field.
The authors argue that intersectionality must be engaged as a critical framework grounded in Black feminist epistemologies — not appropriated as a convenient label. They examine common misuses and articulate what it means to take the framework seriously in the design and study of technology.
The piece sets an agenda for HCI scholarship that honors the intellectual lineage of intersectionality and its commitment to social justice.
